[slim] Re: Doubling up on songs in Slimserver 6.1.1
I have had a similar problem with some tracks using version 6.1.2. What appeared to be happening was that slim server was entering a record in the database reading from the tag and then entering another record using a guess from the filename. The answer was to clear all the Guess tags in the server configuration menu. This stopped the duplicate entries. It only happened with a small number of entries and I couldn't find any valid difference in the way these items were tagged. -- MrStan ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Softsqueeze resource hungry?
Kevin Weller wrote: I'm running Slimserver (6.2b2)/Softsqueeze on an old Sony Vaio which is supposed to have an 850MHz processor and has 256Mb RAM. Nothing else is running on the machine apart from Predixis Music Magic Mixer, Outpost firewall, AVG and RAdmin. All the MP3s are on a Buffalo Linkstation. WinAmp has no problem running on this machine but the output from Softsqueeze is constantly breaking up - it's unlistenable. I'm using the random mix if that makes any difference. Looking at resources CPU is constantly running at 100% with javaw.exe using as much CPU as it can get and r-server (RAdmin) grabbing occasional bits. It seems to be RAdmin grabbing resources that is interrupting the playback. I'm somewhat surprised that Softsqueeze seems to need more resources than WinAmp. Kevin the Java MP3 plugin makes a big performance difference, are you using it? -- Jack At Monkeynoodle Dot Org: It's A Scientific Venture!

[slim] KCRW podcasting problem
Hi - I'm running 6.2b2 and am trying to add some of KCRWs podcasts. Example: http://kcrw.com/podcast/show/lr It gets added ok, and I can browse to it on my squeezebox and read about the current show, but I can't actually get it to play anything. I've tried a handful of KCRW podcasts and they all seem to do the same thing. Anyone have some suggestions? Thanks! -- jay_cee_in_da_house ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
